After about 4 failed attempts to make it to the Botanic Park I finally made it, only to belatedly learn I barely scratched the surface.

Category: parks
Herb Island 허브아일랜드
Herb Island is a lot of different things all mixed together with the sweet smell of herbs wafting through the air.
Pocheon Art Valley 포천아트밸리
An art valley inside a former granite quarry in Pocheon.
Naha Tug of War Replica 那覇大綱挽 in Kibogaoka Park 希望ヶ丘公園
A giant replica of the world's largest tug of rope is mind boggling. Also cats.
Ocean Expo Park/ Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium 海洋博公園・沖縄美ら海水族館
There is too much to do at the Expo park. Three hours is not enough. So many beautiful plants, education and cultural activities and a stunning aquarium.
Nago Pineapple Park ナゴパイナップルパーク
See pineapples in real life? Yes please. Add in soft serve pineapple ice cream and I'm very happy.
Yogi Park 与儀公園
A park that hosts an annual cherry blossom festival. I went before nearly a month before the festival, saw many cats and enjoyed other flowers in bloom.
The Palace of Versailles/ Château de Versailles
Suggestion: Go early and maybe start in the gardens which open an hour before the palace. Also expect a lot of exercise. This place is immense.
Haneul Park Sky Park
Nothing gives off Autumn vibes like tall silver grass you can get lost in. The short cotton candy red and purple muhly grass is also stunning.
Anyang Art Park 안양예술공원
Light hiking with art hidden is a bit like a fun scavenger hunt.
